elk

Welcome to the intEgrated LightKurve Python package, or simply elk!

This package allows you to download, correct, analyze and visualize integrated light curves from TESS FFI data using the methods outlined in Wainer+2023a. While originally designed for analysis of star clusters, it can be used to create integrated light curves for any given aperture. The full breadth of the package is described in Wainer+2023b.

This work is based on work originally supported by the Heising Simons Foundation. We’d also like to acknowledge the absolutely splendid work of Samantha-Lynn Martinez in designing the elk logo. You can find more of her portfolio here and we encourage you to reach out to her for any design needs you have!
